As far as taking Lawson's coverage sacks away. When i said Hendrickson had 6 1/2 legit sacks where he got to the QB in 3 seconds or less, Lawson did it on 5 of his 5 1/2 sacks. Only his 1/2 sack was the result of an extended play. One other, against the Chargers, it took 3.5 seconds because as he got there, the QB started to take off and Lawson caught him after a couple steps. So that means Hendrickson had 6 1/2 sacks in 3 seconds and Lawson had 5 sacks in 3 seconds, while Lawson blew him out of the water on total pressures (64/49).
We will see, this time next year, how equivalent Hubbard and Hendrickson are. I'm betting that they're pretty damn close.
Lawson had opportunities to get coverage sacks too. He just didn't have the motor. How many times did our piss poor line give the qb all day to pass without getting a coverage sack? Did Lawson take those plays off? Some of the coverage sacks Trey got in NO will translate to Cincinnati.
Lawson also blew him out in snaps played but let's say Trey is closer to Hubbard. We still saved $10 million. Carl Lawson is injury prone, hasn't produced numbers worth $15 million, and there's no guarantee that he will now that he has the money. You act like he's a surefire bet for DPOY. I'd rather have Trey and invest the $10 million elsewhere.
